I love the med surge and fundamental book. I will be ordering more for different classes
Her flash cards are beyond helpful-they are a staple in any nursing student's library. I can't tell you how many times her books, sheets, pharm or med-surg cards have saved my behind in exams and clinicals
I got the med surg book for my daughter who starts nursing school in the fall. They are a great review and explains things in a simple and easy to understand way.
Easy to read, very eye catching and aesthetically pleasing with a huge amount of useful information. Thank you!
Very helpful review. Thanks
